20 Most Awaited Pavilions at the 2025 Expo Osaka

Expo (World Expositions) are large-scale and comprehensive fairs held at regular intervals, usually lasting for several months, providing an opportunity to showcase and share different countries’ cultures, ideas, and technologies. Promoting cooperation and cultural exchange between countries, these fairs also introduce new technologies and sustainable solutions within the determined theme.

The new Expo, which is organized every five years and was first organized in London in 1851, will be held in Osaka, Japan, in 2025. Scheduled to take place from April 13 to October 13, 2025, on the artificial Yumeshima Island in Osaka Bay, the theme of Expo 2025 Osaka has been designated “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”. Focusing on achieving sustainable development goals by 2030, the international event aims to have people with different values from various parts of the world discover the theme of ‘life.’ The 2025 Expo Osaka, which emphasizes sustainable development and environmentally friendly structures, also focuses on advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology.

Sou Fujimoto Architects prepared a masterplan for Expo 2025 Osaka in 2020. Modeled on traditional Japanese timber construction, the 60,000-square-meter wooden ring aims to showcase more than 150 pavilions. Also trending for national pavilions at Expo 2025 Osaka will be the use of demountable and reusable structures, as well as multimedia exhibits that aim to provide insight into life in each country. Here are the 20 most awaited pavilions at the 2025 Expo Osaka.
